Gerald Ivan James, 83, of Intervale, N.H., passed away on June 11, 2026. Born on Aug. 4, 1942, in North Conway, N.H., Gerald was the son of the late Frank James and Pansy Lantz James. He lived his entire life in the Mount Washington Valley, a true New Englander through and through.
Gerald was, above all else, a family man. He married the love of his life, Gail Cotter James, on May 5, 1962, and together they shared more than 64 years of marriage. Those decades were filled with family dinners around the table, laughter that never seemed to end and stories told so many times that everyone knew the punchline but laughed anyway. Gerald had a funny saying for everything and a one-liner ready for any occasion. If you spent five minutes with him, you walked away smiling.
